What Grammy-nominated singer did Grant Hill marry in 1999?

The story behind the answer

Grant Hill married Grammy-nominated singer Tamia in 1999. The couple exchanged vows in Michigan and have remained one of basketball and contemporary R&B’s better-known celebrity marriages.

Tamia is a Canadian singer-songwriter whose career includes the albums Tamia, A Nu Day, More, and Between Friends. She received Grammy nominations early in her career, including recognition connected with “You Put a Move on My Heart” and “Slow Jams,” helping establish her as a respected R&B vocalist rather than merely a celebrity spouse.

Hill was already a major basketball star when they married. The former Duke standout became the third overall pick in the 1994 NBA draft and developed into a six-time NBA All-Star. Injuries later affected his career, but he eventually returned to the court and played for several teams, including the Detroit Pistons, Orlando Magic, Phoenix Suns, and Los Angeles Clippers.

Grant and Tamia have two daughters. Their relationship is also notable because Tamia has publicly discussed living with multiple sclerosis, diagnosed several years after their marriage.
